NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!
Daruma is closely associated with a beloved Japanese proverb, nana korobi yaoki, which states, “Fall down seven times, get up eight”. The Daruma doll's unique rounded shape allows it to return to its original position even if knocked over, representing such persistence. Daruma reminds us all to never, ever give up on our dreams.

Persistence:"When approaching a roadblock or challenge in life, you go over it, under it, around it, or through it; quitting is not an option. No matter how times you are knocked down, you get up and move forward."
- Dr. Edward A. Dreyfuss, Ph.D.

ABOUT THE COLOR PURPLE
The Japanese people are well known for their longevity and good health, and the color purple represents just that. A purple Daruma inspires dedication to an exercise regime, stands as a silent but persuasive partner in a weight loss challenge, and reminds us of the pleasure of feeling healthy. A purple Daruma is also a thoughful gift for someone who may be in ill health, perhaps in the hospital, giving extra encouragement to get well soon.

FIVE COLORS, FIVE GOALSThe five colors our Daruma dolls represent five types of goals.
